One House, Two Different Temperaments ((Ashley))

[Ivy Tunstall]

Ivy had found a T-room on the fourth floor to work in. It was so quiet up here. She had the window open, through which fresh air was pouring. It wasn't warm fresh air, in fact it was decidedly nippy today, but all the same it was spring air. The same smells were penatrating into the classroom, even this far up, and there were still some first years down below, finding the beauty of spring at Hogwarts a new dimension they hadn't even imagined was there before, let alone ventured into. And Ivy was stuck up here, doing work. But she had found somewhere where there was peace and quiet, where the sounds and smells of spring could come to her. A far more ideal way to do a Charms essay.

She dipped her quill in her squarish inkpot, full of dark blue ink, and started to write. The words came to her fairly quickly, and whenever she was stuck, she used the idea that Nokomis had given her many months ago - to get her wand out and do the spell if she couldn't think of what to write. Charms was Ivy's best subject, after all. Once she had written two fairly longish paragraphs, taking up most of the room she needed to fill, Ivy stood up with a sigh and stretched, before moving over to the window and looking out of it, allowing the breeze to lift her hair slightly, humming to herself 'We've Only Just Begun'. Ivy was in a good mood. She felt sadness whenever she allowed herself just to enjoy life, but there was still a bliss in it.

[Ashley Hill]

Ashley ran down that hall way like there was no tomorrow. Two jump ropes were on her shoulder, and her little legs taking her as fast as they could. "Stop young lady!" called a Professor out of her class room holding out her right hand like those police women in the streets. Ashley stopped in her tracks and looked at the older women wrinkly skin. It was Madame Prince! The Liberian who Ashley always started to fight with on what's right and what's wrong, and as well she was wrong. "I am so sorry Madame Prince I promise to be good." Ashley said in her sweet little tune and batted her eye lashes. The old lady rolled her eyes and mumbled something under her breath and went back to her business in the library. "One.....Two.......Three......And I am off!" Ashley called under her breath and ran down that hallway at lighting bolt speed.

Spreading out her arms like a bird she started to flip and spin around the hall. Some students looked at her like she was crazy, but Ashley didn't care. It was her naturally self to always act like a child. Was there something wrong with her brain? Was she dropped on the ground so many times as an infant that could have caused damage? Shaking those thoughts away Ashley fell to the ground and her jump ropes next to her. Moving her head she looked up at the girl and right away her eyes grew big with astonishment. This girl was tall like a giraffe or a Mount. Everest! Jumping up from her spot she started to hop on all fours to be the height of the girl. "Woh you’re so tall! I wish I was tall, but no I am just smarmy and short. People call me short stuff but this really mean Slytherin named Kori calls me Bit. I really don't get why but she is just mean. Ohh...Could you beat her up for me? I well give you a jump rope!" Ashley pleaded and stopped her hoping as the girl ignored her and walked away.

Looking after her Ashley sighed and collected the two ropes on the ground and peeked through a class room window. On the ends of her tipsy toes, she looked into the room and saw a Huffle she knew writing in their. Opening the door, Ashley ran over towards Ivy and almost knocked her out of her seat. The blue ink feels off the table and started too dripped down towards the chalk boards. "Ivy! Ivy! Ivy! We should start calling you poison ivy, like the plant. Oh..I am so sorry about that here I well clean help clean it up." Ashley said noticing a towel on the table and started to dap the flours. After cleaning for a while she stood up from the ground and held out the jumps ropes in the younger girls face. "Let’s play jump rope! Oh please pretty please! It's so fun and I am sure you know what this is and what to do. We can jump for candy! I got some Honeyduckes special chocolate and sugar quills in my book bag along with tons of other candies...” Ashley said sitting on the ground and opening up her bag and showing the candy to Ivy.

Having sat back down, Ivy's eyes went wide as she was jumped upon by some strange creature, causing her quill to squiggle off from the 'b' she was forming into something resembling... well... nothing really... just a squiggle of ink. She dropped it immediately, her hand going to her pocket to fend off this unfriendly creature with her wand. But when she looked up, it wasn't a creature, it was Ashley Hill, a Hufflepuff she had met briefly and found to have a lot of excess energy, whose dirty blonde hair was askew, all falling out of the pony-tail. "Ashley..." she said weakly, wondering what all this thing about the 'poison ivy' was. "Oh no... don't do that, the broken glass is sharp, you'll hurt yourself!" she cried, horrified at the idea.

Ivy quickly completed taking her wand out of her pocket, and knelt down on the floor near the broken glass. "Reparo", she muttered, causing the shards to fly back together to create a whole inkpot again. Ivy placed it as safely out of the way as she could. By now Ashley was going on about something like 'jump candy', whatever that might be. "Scourgify", she said, to get rid of the remaining ink so they didn't slip on it, and then she smiled at Ashley, a bemused expression on her face.
"Of course," she said to Ashley, who was now shaking some candy in her face, "but you'll have to teach me the rules, because I have no idea what they are." Ivy was slightly worried about what she had just agreed to, but she might as well go with the flow of things.

[Ashley Hill]

Ashley watched Ivy clean up the mess and fuss over how she shouldn't touch broken glass. "Sorry but your sounding like my mother. But that’s alright my mom’s kind of cool." Ashley said sitting down in the chair next to Ivy's and putting all her candy on the table and smiling. "My dad sent it to me and some of it from Honeyduckes. Don't you like candy? It makes me even more hyper than I supposed to be but it’s still all great." Ashley said taking some twizlers and chewing on the candy as her taste buds were full of delight.

"You don’t know how to jump rope? Goodness gracious Ivy I will teach you." Ashley said jumping from her chair and handing her friend a jump rope and standing in front of the class room. "See you pull the rope over your head and you jump over it like this." Ashley said tugging the rope over her head and jumping over it successfully. "I have a skip it too but that’s at home because it makes too much noise. See try it Ivy than we can go faster and I can than teach you how to skip." Ashley said with a hyper smile and jumped the rope as fast as she could but than tripped and flew onto the ground with a loud thump.

((Sorry for it being soo short I want to get Ashley post out of the way and I am totally out of inpiration.))
